I needed to do some painting this week. I enjoy doing portraits with markers and figure drawing with inktense pencils but painting is my bread and...

After Chadwick Boseman came out so well just after after Christmas, I thought I'd build a team and use him as the first in a series of MCU Avengers...

Had another attempt at Charlie, Dobbie and Mia. I'm getting pretty good at Charlie on the left and it's tending to look like the same portrait...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia Again
It's been a busy day. Three works of art but two of them were so bad I'm not even going to show them here on the blog. The first was an attempt...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia
It's all very well putting together a collection of marker drawings of the Rose And Crown dogs, but I think the landlady wants a painting. While a...

The artwork is slowing down for a while now as I'm working on another actuarial contract during the week now. But at the weekend, I'm back from...
Dobbie
Too distraught after a bad experience with the inktense pencils, I thought I'd have another go at Dobbie but with the markers. This has come out...
Dobbie On The Sofa
Last night, when I nipped over to the Rose & Crown to pick up a takeaway (I had the duck pizza since you ask), the landlady suggested she might...

We’re into lockdown and, with grass roots football missing from the calendar, my Sundays are no longer messed up and I can participate again in...
